Ava Sharpe took in a deep breath as she steeled herself. Today was the day, after years of working within the Time Bureau, having done this all again, all for her, today was the day that the Legends would meet them for the first time.

Ava watched as Sara, Ray and Nate walked into the Time Bureau, looking for Rip, remembering what had happened before, she knew what she needed to do. Walking out into the open as the other agents pulled guns out on the Legends, she gave them a smile.

"Hello everyone. Welcome. On the floor, hands behind your heads." Ava said, as Ray tried to interrupt and she flipped him to the floor with an inner smirk, loving the fact to take Ray down once more. Her and Ray had become friends later on, but this younger, more naïve Ray, he needed to be taken down a peg or two in Ava's eyes.

"Oh we know exactly who you losers are." She shot as Ray tried to protest their innocence, making sure he was securely pinned to the floor.

"Lady, why are you so mean?" Ray asked as his face was pressed into the floor.

"Maybe it's that polyblend pant suit that's got you so grumpy." Sara shot at Ava who glared at her, remembering how snarky she could be sometimes. She regretted it when she remembered that she'd end up captured by Caesar before too long, and would have to be rescued by Sara, it was what first truly drew her to the young captain when she was younger.

For you see, she had been caught in something of a time loop, every single time she got to April 24th, 2024, she'd wake up in bed, open the door to the outside and suddenly be back in 2013. She'd tried everything she could think of to stop it from happening, but it happened over and over again, no matter how hard she begged, no matter how hard she fought, no matter what she tried. Ava was back in 2017 once more. She was back once more for Sara.

For her name wasn't Ava Sharpe. Her name was Ava Lance, and she had returned for her beloved.
